Steel

Baz Rutland

A lost soul, a cyborg in search of a future. He aims to upgrade his most intimate part but what does a man really need to be perfect again?

Ember

A Principle Data extraction expert employed by CESS Industries - a princess in lay terms. She's in search of her past and her parents but who is she really? If she ever finds out who killed her parents, she will rain destruction down upon them, in some nerd-geek way, like by remote-opening the airlocks on their ship so they die horribly.

Her biggest secret and fetish is her love of the big guys, like the orcs, but she would never ever act on that, unless she had nothing left to lose.

Hoss

Half Orc, half Shag, he shaves to blend into the mass of humanity populating the galaxies. All he has ever wanted is to be wanted in return, to be loved and find a mate. But what hope of that when he's a rejected half-breed?

Like PREY, this book is not gritty uber-dark such as Cari Silverwood often writes. It is the pansy dark you reach for when you're all darked out and one step from seeing a therapist.

It's carnal, naughty, and very twisted, and not what your mother ever wanted you to read. Also, there may be some robots that go PEW PEW.
